Interpretation: To determine the how many number of years keep burning the bulb by mass defect energy of 1mole 14C keep a 100-W light bulb burning.
Concept introduction: Mass defect:
The nucleus of each atom (aside from 11H ) has a mass lower than expected from adding the masses of its neutrons and protons.
Mass and energy are related by following equation.
E=mc2
E= Energy
m= mass
c =
Loss of mass and liberation of energy are related by Einstein’s equations.
E = (Δm)c2Δm = Mass defectc = Velocity of light

Answer to Problem 14.43PAE
Solution:
The mass defect energy keeps the burning up to 3221years.
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
E = (Δm)c2Δm = Mass defectc = Velocity of light
Calculation: Let’s calculate the calculated mass of 14C
14C have six protons and eight neutrons.
14Ccal= mH+ mNMass of proton =1.007825 uMass of neutron =1.008665 u
=6(1.007825 u) + 8(1.008665 u)=6.04695 u + 8.06932 u=14.11627 u
The calculated mass of 14C is 14.11627 u.
Let’s calculate the mass defect
Δm = 14Ccal-14CobsCalculated mass of 14C =14.11627 uActual mass of 14C =14.003242 u
=14.11627 u -14.003242 u= 0.113028 u
Mass defect of 14C is 0.113028 u.
Let’s find the binding energy
1 J = 1 kg m2 s-2
E = (Δm)c2Δm = mass defect = 0.113028 u= 0.113028 u×(1.66054×10-27 kgu) × (3×108)2=1.68685 × 10-11 kg m2s-2=1.68685 × 10-11 J
Let’s calculate the energy release when 14C nucleus forms from its constituent nucleon. For 1 mole of 14C nuclei.
E =(1.68685×10-11 J1 atom)(6.02214×1023atoms1 mol)= 10.15845×1012 J/mol= 10.15845×109 kJ/mol
Energy released by 1 mole of 14C nuclei is 10.15845 × 109 kJ/mol.
If it takes 360kJ of energy to keeps a 100-watt light bulb burning for 1 hour.
Assuming light bulb won’t burn out.
Let’s calculate the how many years this energy of carbon -14 could keep bulb burning.
From the given, 360 kJ will burn for 1 hour.
(10.15845 × 109 kJ) (1 hr360 kJ) = 2.821791× 107 hrs
Let’s converts hours into days.
1 day = 24 hrs1 year = 365 days
=(2.821791×107 hrs)(1 day24 hrs)(1 year365 days)=3221 years
Therefore, the mass defect energy keeps the burning up to 3221 years.
Therefore, the mass defect energy keeps the burning up to 3221 years.
